Conditions for Super Visa

Immigrants into Canada are increasing rapidly. Immigration reforms and sustained efforts for globalization mean that this number is going to escalate further. With more and more immigrant Canadians working in Canada, it is no surprise that family member migration will also rise. Most immigrants are willing to find new ways to sponsor their families back home, especially parents. To help them be with their loved ones, Canadian government has launched Super Visa program.

Conditions for Super Visa Eligibility

There are certain conditions that must be fulfilled before the applicant can apply for a super visa. These are mandatory guidelines to be followed by every applicant. These are the following eligibility conditions for Super visa for Parent and Grandparent visa insurance:

A proof that applicant has purchased a medical insurance coverage from a Canadian insurance provider. This is known as super Visa Health Insurance, or super visa medical insurance.

The coverage in the super visa must be valid for a period of 1 year (minimum) from the entry date into Canada.

The rate of acceptance under this program is very high since the transparency has increased manifold.
